Called by Name
He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Psalm 147:4
This statement is above our comprehension! Billions of stars--yet our God of creation calls them individually by name! Our heavenly Father knows each one of our names too! When just a young child, God called “Samuel” and Eli taught him to answer. Our Lord called “Mary” in the garden on the resurrection morning. She knew His voice and in amazement answered “Rabboni” to her Master and Lord. May we be listening and answer when He calls our name!
--E. MacLelland
Speak to me by name, O Master! Let me know it is to me;
Speak that I may follow faster, with a step more firm and free.
--F. R. Havergal
